We are launching new mental health courses to support workplace wellbeing, including first aid, awareness, and manager-focused training. For details or to book, contact us at enquiry@promet.org.uk or visit our website.

Take a look at our new Promet Packs that we provide to each learner on all of our courses. This is the Promet way of ensuring effective, confident and safe learning.

Find out what the current guidance is on first aid training regarding COVID-19 and we are doing at Promet to keep you safe once training recommences.

Currently first aid at work training only covers physical aspects of ill health at work and does not include any training on how to manage mental health problems. This is unfortunate because mental ill health is common and the cause can often be related to work.

The best way to train adults is to allow them to experience and gain knowledge through their own efforts rather than by telling them what to do. This is called Experiential Learning. Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically ‘learning through reflection on doing’.

“An employer shall provide or ensure that there are provided such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first aid to be rendered to employees if they are injured or become ill at work”.

Let's be clear, in the vast majority of workplaces there is no "legal requirement" for an employer to have a defibrillator. Just because it isn't a legal requirement though, is it right not to have one? We try to explain why it might not be such a bad idea.
